About me

Location	New York, NY, United States
Introduction	To steal a line from Virgil’s BBQ in New York City's Times Square, who has the best butt on Broadway? For that matter, who does the best dry rub in Dubai? Allow us to explain. We’re two friends and barbecue fans living in New York City by way of Maryland (me) and South Carolina (Jessica), who decided to write about our quest for quality barbecue in the city that never sleeps. That seemed to be a straightforward mission until I accepted a job in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates, which has led us to greatly expand our geographical net for pulled pork, racks of ribs and heaps of hush puppies. Yes, they do apparently have barbecue in Abu Dhabi and Dubai, the two biggest cities in the United Arab Emirates, at least according to Google. Along the way, we may write about our evolving lives in New York and the Middle East, respectively, but hopefully won’t stray too far from our central focus of smoked meat and enduring friendship. This is early in our search, and we welcome suggestions and comments. We’re not professional foodies, so take everything we say with a grain of salt – and a dash of molasses, for those so inclined. We’ll start with a few places we’ve been to in Manhattan.
